Now that’s irritating

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

You know what really, really irritates me? When someone asks me for something and mentions how they need me to email it to them right away, and then I find that they don’t even check their email for it, and probably won’t actually need it for days.

I may just have to re-institute a 2-3 day turn around on all database requests again to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I’ve had to do it before because people refused to either plan ahead, or be honest about when they really needed things. Sad isn’t it?

    I finally, after spending most of the last two nights and my lunch hour today, have MT installed, configured, tweaked and the entries all put back for the child abuse site. Some stuff is still broken, some stuff will remain broken, existing comments are gone, etc. Some stuff is better. Thanks to a link at…

    Nothing like meeting the wife downtown for lunch to make the “grrr” morning attitude go away. Thanks, honey! Of course, now that I need to go track someone down to tell me about this intern that’s supposedly coming in at some point, the attitude might be back. Or should I just pretend not to know…
